The latest Naruto chapter had humor in it although brief. Naruto has for the most part been serious. Besides young Naruto's antics, Konohamaru's antics, Sakura's inner monologues, Tobi's antics Naruto has been serious. The majority of the villains always have some sad back story and inner hatred.

I think Naruto has gotten so silly an ridiculous it's reached Bleach levels of silliness. I was half expecting Naruto's "that jutsu" to be a fusion technique. I'm still kind of hoping for that because then at least it will fill the silliness hole it dug for itself. Come on Narusuke! Come on Sasuto! Fusion HA!

The Fake Karakura Town arc imo made Aizen the worst main villain in the anime and manga. Yhwach to me is the best villain because he actually gets things done and Ginjo is the second best because of how he attacked Ichigo emotionally.


Wasn't enough to ruin him for me. He's still my favourite villain of the series. I didn't like the Fullbring arc very much, but still better than most of the fillers. I fully watched the Bount Arc, and of course it isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Bach isnt that different....[spoiler]what is the point of explaining his plan to Ichigo?

And he hasnt done much other than planning and waiting for his quincy to end their fights.

And then everyone got stronger and started fighting back against opponents they could easily be killed by but didnt for no real reason
.

Bach could have achieved his plan without letting Ichigo even know what is going on.He is a villain and vilains do that isnt an excuse. He is overconfident and lets his enemies get a chance to fight back and win.

Kubo DID destroy Aizen's character but Bach isnt really better. Especially when his plan didnt work because he is smarter but because SS was portrayed as total idiots even with geniuses like Urahara.

No I am talking about before going there.

It still doesnt change that now Ichigo knows and will try to stop him.Bach lowered, even a bit,his chances for no good reason.If that is another plan in order to shift Ichigo's attention elsewhere, even if it sounds stupid, ok it was a good move, but it doesn't look like it.

[spoiler] Come on you know pretty well that Ishida is with Bach for for reasons that will make him change sides sooner or later.We have seen that several times in shounen and even in Bleach. Not to mention that the more random is the change the more the possibilities to betray Bach(or any villain)increase. If Bach is as good as you say it is he will have seen through it.But then it doesnt make sense why he let him go.

with how the newest season of Pokemon is going (its Pokemon XY btw), is it possible that they are trying to transition the Pokemon anime to have more of a Shonen feel?

I think because they are next to each other in timeslots on the same TV station. When there is no Naruto episode, it is because Pokemon has two episodes special, and Pokemon takes over Naruto slot for that week. And the opposite happens, at those Naruto two episodes special.

I'm not really sure. But I reckon that Shounen anime, usually air early and in the morning because they are prime time.

Anime actually don't have demographics like manga. Just time slots, unless I'm mistaken (prime time anime: Saze-san, Detective Conan, One Piece, etc) (Late night anime: Most harems, ecchi, stuff like No Game No Life, etc)

I have some serious issues with this video. It seems like pandering for those who say that Skypiea is plot irrelevant and Thriller Bark only matters because of Zoro's sacrifice... Come on, these two are major arcs. It's a shame how many events that are relevant or at least symbolic in there are just left out. On the other hand it is a poor decision to use the movie remakes because that makes the artstyle look inconsistant and unaccordingly to the growth of the series. The HD scenes for the Arlong arc or the stylized/simplified drawing from Drum Island surely look out of place.

Yeah, my biggest problems with the video. Especially from what I've skimmed it seems the Skypiea saga was skipped -entirely-, even the Jaya arc which was extremely important, introduces loads of important characters and factions + shows another layer of Luffy's character with the whole Bellamy conflict.

I'm pretty sure that's mostly why they were so beat up and lost almost all of their ships. They went through the calm belt, there's no other way.

Though actually more experienced pirates like Shanks might know a way. They do sometimes go to one of the 4 seas.

it's a shame the anime's art isn't on par with the manga because imo mashima's art is better than kishimoto's, kubo's and oda's.

One piece is detailed.
Naruto is more vibrant, but I can swear Mount Kagemore is inconsistent compared to the Sasuke shot.
But are you sure you're not purposefully picking an empty bleach shot? Or maybe hueco mundo is supposed to have this derelict, empty, vast atmosphere to it?

Only SS'HQ was detailed in Bleach and that was during the beginning.

Everyone talks about the characters not the background so Kubo just shows the place everything takes place at and then focuses on the characters-

Bleach has always been about fights, which means it's about the characters and their fights with each other, and at that, Kubo does a great job (characters are shallow for the most part, as in a lot of other series, but consider it your mindless fun with good-looking and badass characters/moments) . Tbh he can draw a lot more impactful character reactions than the other 2. Examples:

Berserk is different. Berserk's art CREATES the atmosphere imo, it had a certain quality that is lost in adaptation, cant say the same for the big three or HxH or anything else.

Believe it or not, those white and black behind the characters instead of the buildings can do a hella big impact sometimes.

Yeah. Never got why the lack of detailed backgrounds in Bleach, is a good enough basis, to bash the art.

Kubo has the best raw drawing talent in the current Jump line up IMO.

To each their own I guess, which is why such discussions are kinda pointless, but I do agree the 2nd is pretty good, and it's like the only one I found from my small search for Naruto.

The context of the panels of course however is still important for the impact to happen, so I didn't really think those pictures would be that impactful on their own to anyone, but the difference in the art detail shows, or the potential impact, especially in the Yamamoto picture. It's still a panel from each series, which doesn't really say much but that's basically how good each can get from my experience in all 3 series. (One Piece has the lowest impactful art, Naruto has some really impactful panels, albeit those are few, Bleach has really impactful panels and there's a decent amount of them, but compared to others, Bleach doesn't have that many backgrounds, which really isn't a bad thing)
